Work Psychology and Ergonomics are subdisciplines of Work Science and share a basic understanding of the 'humane' design of work tools, places, tasks and systems. The lecture presents basic knowledge of both subdisciplines and demonstrates it in examples. The students learn to understand and reflect theoretical concepts, empirical research and the advantages of a work design adapted to people.

The MTE subjects are primarily meant to give future engineers a solid introduction to the field, to encourage them to educate themselves further and ultimately to enable them to deal successfully with complex systems and to see technical objectives and decisions, with all consequences, against a non-technical background.
